Question

I am setting up my android development environment using these instructions:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

When I get to step 4, and type ‘android’ I get the following error:

/Users/user1/programming/android\ development/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/android ; exit;
user1-Macbook-Pro:~ user1$ /Users/user1/programming/android\ development/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/android ; exit;

It’s like the android sdk is not aware of the ecplise libraries. I have downloaded and installed eclipse. Any ideas why this is failing?

Answer 1

You downloaded the wrong sdk. Make sure to download the Mac OS X (intel) SDK.
